Wow, Danielle! You're a rockstar! It takes a lot of effort to start a group, but you've made a huge difference in womens lives. Well done! Erin Hills last blog post..A Light in the Dark

I found the MOMS Club when my oldest (now 8 years old) was a few months old. I joined in California then when I moved to Ohio there wasn't a local chapter. So I started one! It took a long two years to get it really going but I did. When we moved last summer the chapter was going strong! I have treasured friends from my time in the club!

Lisa: Yeah, actually mine charges $20 a year, but it's worth it because they provide other perks. Being part of the group provides me with a $120 discount a year on my YMCA membership so it's totally worth it. Check to see if they have perks that outweigh the costs. Darn it! I should have put that as part of the post. Thanks for bringing it up! Erin Hills last blog post..A Light in the Dark

Pam: I'm so sorry you couldn't find support when you needed it most. I think stay at home homs are becoming more empowered, now, and more and more of these groups are popping up. Erin Hills last blog post..A Light in the Dark

Debbie I didn't mention social networking, but, YES!, it is the same with moms groups online. It's another great way to find support. Erin Hills last blog post..A Light in the Dark

The only moms groups I could find here charge, so I didn't join them. Lisas last blog post..Wednesday’s Hero

I would have loved to have this when my first son was born. There wasn't much available, that I was aware of, in 1992 & it was terribly lonely. Back then most women were waiting until their 30's or 40's to have their kids & concentrating on their careers. I was the only 25 year old I knew with a baby. Pams last blog post..A Band-Aid

Erin, I totally agree with every one of your points. Early on in my “mom” years I didn’t reach out very much, and in hindsight I see how silly that was. For the kids’ sake AND for mom’s sake, having a broad group of friends to play with and moms to talk with keeps everyone happy. I’ve also learned that a playdate is a mom’s best friend.

RAH RAH!!! This is eXACtly why SAHM’s need social networking! It is so nice to hear from someone – whether you’ve met them face to face or not – that they KNOW what I’m going through. What a RELIEF that is!

My brain is in constant movement for all the new things I’m learning – and it does help me be a better mom to my kids. Even if I have to pry myself away from the latest post or comments I love to read. =)

Keeps me sane – keeps my sense of humor – makes Mommyhood more enjoyable!
